The Homestead Design Process

Understanding and working with the owners was critical

A significant amount of time was spent understanding how the owners wanted to use their home and what they wanted to achieve for their family through the construction process. The end result being a beautiful house that provides a warm, low energy environment for the family.

The Remarkables and Coronet Peak provided a stunning backdrop for this Queenstown property, “The Homestead”. To ensure the owners could enjoy the magnificent views in comfort we utilised in the design process the following:-

The North-facing aspect

PVC triple glazed windows

LVL timber framing

Wool insulation

High R-value Intello and ICS wall and ceiling systems

A balanced heat transfer system using Zhender and Escea gas fire heating
